Video scrubbing of YouTube videos does not work in outdated video players

Open athif23 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Sometimes videos I downloaded from youtube aren't able to seek, it's playable but it can only be started from start, you can't forward or backward the frame at all. This is one of the link I tried, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRgpAhc3WlA.

As you can see, the slider is disabled and can't be dragged at all.

i recommend using a more advanced video player, such as https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

youtube videos are rendered on-fly, cobalt can't predict the final rendered file size, so that info is missing from the header

I'm running into this issue as well with the latest version (11.2401.2.0) of Windows Media Player
